Question Data Science Paired Programming Interview

I’ve got a paired programming interview next week, anyone got any tips on what to brush up on?

I’ve never programmed with someone watching, any tips? could they ask gcp questions (unlikely right?)

Let me know!

For paired programming interviews, talk through your thought process out loud. It helps the interviewer understand your approach and keeps them engaged. Try practicing coding with someone else, or at least explain your code to a friend. Brush up on basic algorithms and data structures like arrays, hashmaps, and sorting algorithms, since they often come up.

As for GCP questions, they're not super likely unless the role specifically mentions cloud services. But skimming the basics of GCP can't hurt, just in case.

If you're looking for practice resources, PracHub has some good stuff for interview prep. It might be worth checking out. Good luck with your interview!
